ALL NOVEL Chapter 239: 200,000 Cannon Fodder
The port city of Plymouth was only one of the few ports open to the Purple Dragon Federation in the era of the high elves. However, after the Purple Dragon Federation conquered the island of England, due to its relatively short distance from the Iberian Peninsula, it became a federal fleet on the island of England. One of the three important port centers.
This place is full of federal troops preparing to launch a landing operation on the Iberian Peninsula, 80% of which are divisions composed of Yamato people, and only a few port guards are legions composed of Han Chinese.
It is now November 1889 in the federal calendar, and some time has passed since the remnants of the Federation soldiers in the Porto ruins were completely wiped out. With the actual combat information of the Han army sent back by 100,000 cannon fodder, the federal army has a clear view of Wang Ziming's Han army. a preliminary understanding.
The biggest gain is that the vanguard death squad can be organized to carry the explosive packs to die with the Han army's tanks.
Naturally, the term tank was inquired by the federal spies from the Han Empire. There was no language barrier between the two sides. Naturally, Wang Ziming's name was whatever...
The Han Empire established by Wang Ziming is a typical military power state, all economic and political affairs are in the service of the military, and because the military power does not depend on the indigenous population, Wang Ziming does not have to worry about oppressing the people at all.
Of course, there are not many people on the Iberian Peninsula who oppress the prince!
Now the size of the French line infantry has shrunk to more than 90,000 people, and the total number of red police mercenaries is less than 20,000. The scarce population on the Iberian Peninsula is absolutely impossible to feed, and most of the food is Rely on different space territories for farming support.
This is also the reason why Wang Ziming used most of the 100,000 civilians to farm.
The grain harvest in the different space territory has the bonus of the game in the Age of Empires, and the harvest period is very short.
In fact, the 90,000 French line infantry is too much compared to the Han Empire.
Most of the population of the Great Han Empire are white natives. Because they were just liberated from the chaotic human beings, they were very servile and did not dare to resist at all. It was easy to manage and swallowed when they were squeezed.
As long as they don't starve to death, basically no one will rebel.
According to Zhuge Liang's calculations, only 20,000 to 30,000 local security forces are enough, and even 10,000 absolutely loyal troops guarding the place can guarantee that the indigenous humans on the Iberian Peninsula will not rebel.
Compared with the white natives of the Iberian Peninsula, the federal people stranded here were unwilling to accept Wang Ziming's rule.
There are roughly three reasons:
First, Wang Ziming has no legal rationale. He is just the son of a minor nobleman. In the Zilong Federation where the theory of blood is prevalent, he is naturally not qualified to build an empire, so he is naturally disgusted by the Federation people.
Second, most people in the Federation don't think that the Han Empire can finally defeat the Zilong Federation, so they are naturally unwilling to stand on the side of the loser. It is uncertain how many federal people can live in the Ilibian peninsula...
Third, the military control system of the Han Empire made the federal people very uncomfortable!
Of course, there are less than 10,000 federal people left on the Iberian Peninsula. No matter how much they resent the Han Empire regime, it will not affect the foundation of Wang Ziming's rule...
With the eradication of the chaotic human forces in the Iberian Peninsula, the white natives have become the majority of the population, and the federals are only on the coast of the Portuguese region.
Most of them lived in the colonial area of Reese City, and there were many in the colonial area of Porto City, but as Porto City fell and was bombed into ruins, there were not many federal people living there.
To manage less than 10,000 federalists and a large group of white natives who dare not resist, 10,000 French line infantry are more than enough to serve as a security force.
Not to mention that the gang government headed by Angela helped the prince suppress the local government.
In fact, the security task of the French line infantry is not to manage the people, but to prevent small groups of demonized creatures scattered on the Iberian Peninsula from attacking human settlements.
Therefore, Wang Ziming is equivalent to raising more than 80,000 French line infantry now...
This is also the reason why Wang Ziming didn't care about the loss of the French line infantry. If it wasn't for the food supply from the different space territory, Wang Ziming would even send the French line infantry out to die.
The area of the Ilibian Peninsula is very large, but the population controlled by Wang Ziming is very small. The last madness of the chaotic humans reduced the number of white natives in the Ilibian Peninsula by two-thirds!
Now the area with human activities on the Iberian Peninsula is less than 10% of the total area...
This is still based on the premise that the mining bases of magic stone mines have greatly expanded the area of human activities.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Wang Ziming to spy on the territory of the Han Empire, and Wang Ziming did not have any special spies under his command.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Ziming doesn't care about the Zilong Federation obtaining his own information. Wang Ziming's biggest reliance is the territory of the different space. No matter how good the spies of the Zilong Federation are, is it possible that they can sneak into the different space?
More than 200,000 troops (not including logistics personnel and sailors) have gathered in the port of Plymouth. If it were not for waiting for the first batch of explosive kits to be replenished, these troops would have landed on the Iberian Peninsula one after another.
This is the second tentative attack of Zilong Federation.
Yes, just for a tentative attack, the Zilong Federation, which is wealthy and populous, sent 200,000 cannon fodder!
As a matter of course, the 200,000 cannon fodder are all Yamato people except for a few high-level people...
The annihilation of the 100,000 Pioneer Legion made the Zilong Federation understand one thing - they are still unable to fight with Wang Ziming head-on, even if they have an absolute advantage in military strength!
If you can't win a frontal battle, the strategic goal of destroying the Han Empire in a short period of time can only be abandoned.
Therefore, the Zilong Federation military intends to take a roundabout route, first transport 200,000 cannon fodder to land to test the waters, spread to the entire Ilibian Peninsula, and specifically attack the magic stone mine strongholds and human towns under the control of the Han Empire.
This plan looks good on the surface, but everyone understands the truth of avoiding the truth.
But the actual implementation is very difficult, the reason is the environment of the Iberian Peninsula!
In terms of the occupied area and quantity alone, the real overlord of the Iberian Peninsula is the ubiquitous demonized creatures!
It's just that the demonized creatures have no national consciousness, and they attack each other. They can't beat Wang Ziming, so they can't really rule the Iberian Peninsula...
After the federal army landed, the first enemy was not the Han army, but the demonized creatures scattered all over the Iberian Peninsula!
